rkpatham, rkraman,

you folks appear to be doing a great job in performing radha kalyanam focussing on the religious and spirtual aspects.

now there is talk of inviting ashok singhal and praveen thokadia.

ashok ofcourse is from vishwa hindu parishad, praveen from rss - both socio political organizations.

i see a danger in mixing religion and politics here. what you have done so far, is pristine, and inclusive of people of all political views.

personally i think, neither vhp or rss is good for the integrity of india. this forum would desist any political propagation.

india, is a complex country of many peoples and religions. the hindutva agenda proposed by vhp/rss/bjp is divisive.

furthermore, as tamil brahmins, it is against our traditon, i believe, to veer towards paths of intolerance and violence.

but the issue here, and which i caution you, is to avoid political influence into purely religious functions.

it does not do our traditions any good.

thank you.
